I have enough room for two horses in a huge paddock with a nice shelter. The trails to ride are beautiful and connect to our property. You do not have to trailer anywhere to ride on beautiful trails. Many of my friends trailer here and cannot believe these trails are in my backyard. I am so very blessed and I would love to share it with some new boarders. My prices are reasonable and you will not find anyone who will take better care of your horse than I wlll! If you or someone you know is looking for a nice place to keep your horse, then contact me. My price is $100.00 per horse if you provide your own hay, $175.00 if I provide it. I have references for you to contact if you wish. Come visit and I will show you around! 231.828.6835

Howdy all, Hope everyone is having a good winter. We are suffering in Arizona, it's so darn hot here! Seriously, we love it here! We are looking for a gaited appaloosa for Terry, a gelding, between 3-5 years old. Anyone know of any out there please let us know! See you all in the spring.

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2012 Duramax diesel ext. cab 4x4. However, I have been researching the mpg., and it sounds like it is not what is supposed to be. Does anyone own a newer duramax, what kind of fuel miles per gallon do you get? Highway or city? Towing? Any help would be appreciated. I'm now thinking of getting a gas 2500HD.

I have a friend that had 350 fords, they haul very heavy equipment all over the U.S. they switched over to the 2012 duramax, better gas better hauling. Good Luck

Not mine but posting for friend... The owner of this trailer has reduced it to $3,500 cash!!!! Must see if you're looking for a 4-horse trailer w/a weekend package. It's a good trailer for a 80's model.

The final campfire has another good one tonight for the first time; Marilyn Marsh. Wife of Ernie Marsh. Many of us saw her at workbees with Ernie and Katherine. Few of us saw him with Katherine riding the cross state - he is a early riser. Marilyn must have been something to capture that noble knights heart. Tonight she is with Bob Brogman, Ilma Flannery, and so many others. Though she was a lost soul for the end of the story here on earth, I know she is waiting for her husband to someday join her at the final campfire. Godspeed dear lady. Ernie, our hearts are with you.
